LOCATION - BONDI

Bondi Beach is one of Australia's most famous beaches and among the world's most well-known beaches. It is located in the Municipality of Waverley in east Sydney. The beach, roughly a kilometre long, is enclosed at the north and south by headlands. Every day of the year lifeguards patrol the beach between the yellow and red flags.

It is not difficult to find Bondi Beach as long as you get to Sydney, New South Wales. If you are coming to Bondi Beach, leave your car behind if you can. Public transport is quick and cheap. Parking can be difficult at the beach. Parking meters are in all the main streets close to the beach.

Bondi is well served by public transport. Buses run to the beach at 10 minute intervals or better all day from Bondi Junction. Services are less frequent after about 9:30 pm at night, with buses every 15 minutes until midnight and, as a last resort, a bus runs every hour all night. On Friday and Saturday nights there are buses every half hour all night.

The railway station at Bondi Junction is about 2 kilometres back from the beach. The train service generally runs every 10 minutes, seven days a week. All buses from the beach to the city go via the railway station.
BONDI LIONS CLUB
Bondi Lions Club was chartered in the year 1956 and still has four of its Charter members actively involved in the furtherance of the club.

IN APPRECIATION

In recognition of the contribution of the Lions Clubs of Turkey, especially Lion Dr. Enzar Tore, in providing free web page hosting for Lions Clubs everywhere, the Lions Club of BONDI Inc. proudly displays the flag of Turkey on our site.
Click on the flag to go to the web site of Lion Dr. Enzar's home club - the Lions Club of Canakkale.

As an extension to the Turkish Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1 (Australia) offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a FREE SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also FREE, this means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. - Is that a deal or what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even give you some tips on that!
